Dental Implants College Park, GA

Dental implants offer a long-lasting way to replace missing teeth and restore your beautiful smile after tooth loss. MINT dentistry proudly offers dental implants with custom implant restorations to our patients in College Park, GA who want a tooth replacement option that functions and feels much like their own teeth. An implant is a post that is placed in your jawbone (often by an oral surgeon) to mimic the lost tooth root. A custom dental crown, bridge, or denture can then be connected to the implant to provide a long-term, natural-looking option for tooth replacement. To replace a missing tooth or teeth, contact MINT dentistry in College Park, GA. During this appointment at our patient-centered dental facility, you will learn about MINT dentistry’s commitment to helping you reach your cosmetic goals while achieving ideal dental health.

Made by Nobel Biocare™, All-on-4® dental implants can replace a full arch of missing teeth by supporting a custom, full-arch restoration. This implant procedure works by inserting a series of metal dental implant posts into strategic areas on the upper or lower arch. Compared to other types of implant-supported dentures, the All-on-4 concept often uses fewer posts while still offering a secure fit. Our dentists may recommend All-on-4 implants to those who wish to replace missing teeth without the dietary restrictions or challenges of removable dentures. A number of MINT patients love the benefits of the advanced All-on-4 process and are able to enjoy lasting, high-quality results. If you'd like to learn about the advantages of tooth replacement with All-on-4 implants, we invite you to schedule an appointment at our dental office in College Park, GA.

Our MINT dentists may recommend implant-supported crowns, bridges, or dentures to replace anywhere from one missing tooth to a whole arch of teeth. You may be a candidate for dental implants if you currently have a traditional dental restoration but do not like the way it looks or feels. During your consultation at MINT dentistry, we will assess your entire mouth, including your gums and jawbone, to determine if you are able to receive an implant. You may not be a good candidate for dental implants at this time if you have a periodontal condition, may become pregnant during the implant process, or use tobacco products.

Our MINT dentistry team will determine if you require jawbone or gum grafting to improve your implant candidacy during your initial treatment consultation. If it is determined that you do, those procedures will be performed before your implant surgery is scheduled. As soon as you are approved for implants, we will schedule your oral surgery to place the implant post(s). Prior to your implant surgery, our staff will help you to fully relax in one of our massaging treatment chairs where we will give you a pair of MINT sunglasses and Beats headphones to enjoy. Next, dental anesthesia or sedation will be administered. The oral surgeon will then create an incision in your gum tissues and precisely place the titanium post(s) into your jawbone. We will repeat this process until all implants are in place. Finally, your gums will be sutured closed over the implant or just enough to leave the post visible above the gumline. During the next few months, your post(s) will start to integrate with your bone and gum. A temporary restoration may be used to cover the implant(s) during this time. Once your mouth has healed, one of our College Park, GA dentists will connect your custom crown, bridge, or denture restoration to the implant post(s) so you can begin to enjoy your newly restored smile.

It is normal to have some inflammation and discomfort in your mouth following implant surgery. This should only be temporary, but please report any severe or prolonged symptoms to our office. We will provide detailed aftercare instructions, including dietary recommendations, and may prescribe pain medications and antibiotics to speed your recovery. Once your implant(s) has integrated and your custom crown, bridge, or denture has been attached, you should follow a good home oral care routine, including flossing and brushing every day. We may ask you to schedule follow-up appointments so we can monitor your progress. MINT dentistry encourages you to attend biannual professional cleanings to keep both your natural teeth and implants healthy and attractive over time.

The dental implant placement and implant restoration costs may be covered in part under some dental insurance plans. Our office will contact your insurance company to review your individual benefits and calculate your remaining bill. During your consultation, we will discuss the payment methods we accept and can give you information on low-interest financing. At MINT dentistry, we are dedicated to helping College Park, GA patients get a healthy, beautiful smile. If you do not have dental insurance, ask us about the MINT Discount Plan, which was created to make it easier to afford restorative treatments, like dental implants.

Implant-supported crowns, bridges, and dentures can be a lasting, highly attractive option for replacing missing teeth. Cared for just like real teeth, implants can rejuvenate the health and appearance of your smile for a lifelike look and function. At MINT dentistry, we use modern dental equipment and cutting-edge techniques to help patients get the smile of their dreams.
